Literacy and Fluency and Technical Awareness


Overview/description


.......what is this core competency referring to? Describe how it links in with the Digiteen Area of Awareness

Literacy and fluency in digital citizenship means being able to read, write, and understand information using digital tools. If a person is technologically literate, he or she can easily use technology to learn and to create new information.

Examples


.....Provide real examples from your school, country or from your research of how this norm and the Digiteen element impact on each other. These can be in the form of an image with text, a podcast, a short video, interviews etc.

It is important to maintain a positive digital footprint because your future career may depend on it. A 2009 study by Career Builders found that 20% of employers check social media sites before hiring new employees. This will become even more likely to happen in the future.

Another piece of your digital footprint that can give people an impression about you is your email address. Make sure that when someone reads the name you have chosen for your email, they get a good first impression of you.[1]
